Velier Caroni 38th Release Tasting Gang Blended Trinidad Rum 1996 23yr 63,5%
The 38th Release Tasting Gang Blended Trinidad Rum by Velier showcases the Caroni distillery’s prowess with a blend distilled in 1996 and aged for 23 years. Bottled at cask strength with a bold 63.5% ABV, it offers rich aromas of vanilla and barrel, complemented by coconut and pastry notes. Its taste balances vanilla sweetness with woody, tropical fruit, and smoky undertones. While praised for its unique balance and harmonious profile, some find the alcohol integration lacking and the typical Caroni characteristics subdued. A rare release, only 4,668 bottles exist, making it a coveted choice for rum enthusiasts and collectors.

“Top Tropical Caroni for beginners! Reminiscent of a blend of Foursquare (coconut) and Caroni. Really exciting!”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Very approachable Caroni, the HTR profile only subtly echoes and is framed by the heavy sweetness, elegant spices and subtle tropical fruit of the LTR style. Pleasant to drink.”

“Alcohol burns a bit for both nose and mouth and could have been integrated better. Otherwise, profile is really round with coconut, pastries, vanilla and Caroni notes which are very shy in the background. Good rum overall, that's a bit pitty that alcohol is not correctly integrated.”
